It's so friggin much FUN making these cards. Seriously. I'll probably make my own set as I go along in the swap, but I'll definately keep an eye on this thread as well.

I find it's difficult to decide what to put on each card. It's a lot of interpretation of what the card means, followed by deep thought of what images convey that meaning. I'm trying to keep it fairly simple myself. Maybe if I can get through one deck in simplified form, I'll go back and add more information to each card. Astrology, hebrew letters, alchemy....Oh, it would be a LOT of research. But fun.

amaryllisrose- thank you for posting that! Im not sure how i missed it. when i first thought of this i thought it would be a cool swap, but to me, personal interpretation is important. So owning and using MY OWN deck is a cool idea, hence a craftalong

Anjelle- I'd love to see the cards you make, I'm very interested in the different ways people interperet each card.

I'm interested in joining your craftalong.Do you have anything done/almost done?What is your favorite card?I think Magician, Empress, Priestess, Sun, Moon, Queen of Pentagrams are intriguing.--------Tarot card gallery was superb!I would like to see if amaryllisroze has any more tarot cards hanging out with her.

Ah, the ol' persistant card trick. But really, I'm not sure there's a need to work on your cards in any particular order. I think if a card is jumping out at you, maybe that's the one you should focus on. At least until another one starts it's own attack.

I'm still really stuck on my Magician card. I did manage to get one together for the swap, but I'm not really satisfied with it on a personal level. I think I'm focusing there more because it is so determinedly eluding me, rather than that it stands forth. Something to think on, I guess.
